A Message To Sangmi

Sangmi,
You've succeeded in breaking my heart,
but you can't break my pen.
I'm writing..
Can you stop me?

***

You were
playing like a child,
twinkling like a pearl
and smiling like a dream
when I suddenly loved you
and you suddenly hated me!

***

While commuting to school,
I used to repeat
"Sangmi,
my eyes aren't enough.
I need a million eyes 
to realize some of your inconceivable charms!
Your mind isn't enough.
You need a million minds 
to realize some of my massive love for you!"
and I used to smile.

While going back home, 
I used to repeat: 
"Thinking of Sangmi is a homework 
that I can't finish, 
and to be honest, 
I never want to finish!"
and I used to cry.

***

I didn't come to this land 
to submit my heart and go back,
but I did!
Sangmi, I love you!
I love you, Sangmi!

***

In every meeting,
you could see the love in my eyes.
You could see it in every gesture 
and feel it in every word I say. 
And I could see your hate for me clearly. 
I could feel the unjustified disparagement.

***

Although you're the only queen,
your face is the only face
and you voice is the only voice,
I can't be a slave. 
However, I can keep loving you forever!
Now, you can travel!
